A woman of few words and even fewer needs, Sr. Margaret relished her afternoons with Oreo cookies and a cup of coffee – a passer-by was invariably offered a cookie accompanied by a warm and inviting smile – a smile that communicated more than an invitation to a cookie, but an invitation to join her in a life of quiet understanding and deep peace.
Sr. Margaret loved her Dominican life and was grateful for the support and encouragement she received. In turn, she was loved very much and will be greatly missed.
